This year for the 4th of July, I’m in charge of bringing a salad to the family party. I’ve made this fun flag-shaped 4th of July Jell-O before, and it’s always a hit. As I live in the Jell-O Capital of the World, this side dish is perfect for the family party!
Supplies for Jell-O Flag:
- Jell-O – Blue or Red Jell-O color works best for the background.
- Whip cream – I like to use the cream from a spray can as it forms a better line for the flag. It also makes it look kinda wavy.
- Red fruit – strawberries or raspberries are delish.
- Blueberries – for the corner as stars.
As I was making the Jello, my kids wanted a taste of all the toppings as a snack. So I made them some Red, White, and Blue Fruit Bowls. They were a great treat and all too easy.

I’m in love with the fruit bowl! (not that the jello dish isn’t great, it is) For a dish of leftover toppings the bowl rocks! I think I need to serve it this weekend.
I used to make this on pound cake every 4th – I like the jello idea even better!
Yum! Is that one of your name etched Pyrexes? Those are so cool! Didn’t you used to make those to sell? I was thinking that I need one!
Yummy! You are making me way hungry! What fabulous ideas! I will have to us one on Friday!
There has to be one of the flag dishes at every picnic! It is an American tradition!
That is beautiful! What a great idea! I’m definitly going to try that this weekend! Thanks
You might live in the jello capital, but I live a mere 1/2 hour drive from where jello was invented! All your holiday foods look quite yummy!
